Hello,
I'm hoping that someone here can give me some help with my scanner.
I saw the GT6000 mentioned in the hardware howto, and bought myself a
nice cheap second hand scsi Epson GT6500 scanner which is software
compatible with the GT6000, GT8000, GT4000 and GT1000.
The supporting software mentioned in the hardware howto is:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/capture/ppic05.tar.gz
but I'm having to go through it trying to sort out parse errors etc.
I guess gcc and some of the system include files have changed quite a bit
between 1995 and whenever the 2.0.34 kernel came out.
I'm confident that I will be able to get it to compile and work ok, but
it'd be nice if someone had already done the work for me.
I also tried Sane which I didn't expect to work with this scanner, and it
didn't (I got a segmentation fault from "scanimage -d epson:/dev/sgc ...")
but I'd be interested if someone was working on a version that would.
